Eternal Frenemies: Return to Eternity

SYNOPSIS:

OVERVIEW:

This Ren'Py interactive novel is a part of the Eternal Frenemies Project, a transmedia story developed around original characters (OCs) of the Italian magical girl franchise "Angel's Friends". The story of this game serves as a prequel to the events of the ongoing Eternal Frenemies webcomic (which is the final part of the project's story), as well as a "lorebook" for the project as a whole.

As the base of the project's canon, the game's story is linear(a single storyline, with two versions of one ending), but different dialogue choices at different times will reveal either extended background lore or hints/spoilers for comic chapters to come. The story itself is split between two timelines: past and present.

To all of the people who played the demo in order to help me present a pre-emptive case for getting the game uploaded without the limit, I offer my sincere apology and thanks. I should have waited until the game was completely done before I contacted the support team.
